The last 2 day’s posts have covered working with photo mosaic effects that tile in a regular grid pattern and allow for addition of non-overlapping sub blocks within the tiling mosaic to add additional detail. At the end of yesterday’s post we briefly mentioned that you could use the Vectorizer to define the region structure…

We’re returning to the MSG effect we discussed 2 days ago, which generates a Hilbert space filling curve adaptive halftone effect with built in colorization. The MSG effect itself generates raster image output. In today’s post we will show how you can convert this effect into one that generates vector output, which allows for resolution…

Studio Artist has a vectorizer Shape Type option that can fill with different Truchet patternings. This post will take a look at how to use the new Truchet Shape Type options. You can find Truchet Presets by choosing the Vectorizer mode and searching for Truchet. There are also Truchet presets in the Paint Synthesizer that…

The following image is a combination of a vectorizer abstraction preset with an added smart blur effects masked so that it only blurs at the edges of the image. This can be used as a technique to focus the viewer’s attention on the center of the image, and also to create a sense of…

The vectorizer typically generates visual effects consisting of flat color region fills. While there is a vectorizer feature that allows for some gradient fill options, you can also take a flat color region image and convert it into soft gradient filled regions via post processing by image processing algorithms. There has been a lot…
